Iron:
Lets go horsing around. Vincent's on the Ponyta search party.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Find what you were after, Nathan? Judging by appearances, not much luck with the Ponyta." He nods in the younger trainer's direction as he approaches. "And how's your Ralts doing? Looks a mite antsy."
"I just wrapped up a trainer battle myself. Guy I asked about your horse sort of insisted on a fight and since he'd done me a favor by providing directions, I figured 'why not'. Got to put a few things I'd been thinking about to the test - worked surprisingly well too. Amazing what you can extrapolate from your own training really." He gives his cane an experimental swing for effect.
"Anyway, if you want, we could go look for your horse now, unless you've got something else planned. Either way, if there's one thing I've learned, it's that no matter how good you think you are, having someone watching your back is never a bad thing."
Something about the situation is itching at the back of his mind. An incongruity perhaps, or an unanswered question.
He pauses for a bit. "For my curiosity though. Judging from how fast your Ralts learned confusion, you're a talented Pokemon handler and judging by the Ponyta situation, you've got ranch experience. Those skills would make you a hell of a trainer, that's for sure, but there's plenty of ranches out there who would basically kill to hire someone with your skillset. Why take the trainer route? If you don't mind me prying."
